4 Steps to a Great Law School Personal Statement

1

Brainstorming

The first step to writing a good personal statement for law school is selecting a topic to write about.
Choosing a good topic/theme for your essay is one of the most important (and difficult) aspects of writing an effective law school personal statement.
Our 30-minute brainstorming session gives you the opportunity to bounce some ideas off of Evan or Josh, who will help guide you in the right direction.

A good topic can provide law schools with valuable insight and set you apart from the thousands of other students competing for admissions. Pick a bad topic to write about and your essay is doomed before you even start writing.

Substantive Edit

Once you have a draft of your essay, our experienced editors will make sure
you're on the right track. This developmental edit takes a big-picture
overview of your essay and provides objective, actionable feedback
that will help ensure that your essay has the desired impact on
readers.

We'll read your essay from the perspective of a law school admissions officer.
Does your topic work? Is the tone, style & flow of your essay hitting the right
notes? Do you have a strong introduction and conclusion? Are there portions that
need to be cut or expanded? Is it well-organized, precise, and compelling? Are
your points well-supported?

Proofreading Edit

Once you have a strong topic that you've developed into a compelling essay and you’re happy with the substance of your personal statement, now it is time to go through your essay with a fine-toothed comb. During the proofreading phase, we take a close look at your essay to ensure that is accurate and error-free.

We go through your writing, word-by-word, looking for technical errors and omissions. We’ll look carefully for mistakes in spelling, punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, and word usage in order to improve its accuracy and readability.

Final Polish

After you've made any final changes, it is always a good idea to have an experienced editor do a quick final review before you hit “send.”

During the “final polish” phase, we make sure your essay is typo-free. Two editors will review your work to ensure that it is well-formatted and free of spelling errors and grammatical mistakes, resulting in a final draft that you can confidently submit to law schools.
